Water level and depth
Passage Tool compares the live water level at Basel-Rheinhalle with the gauge's equivalent low water level (GlW). In the section Rheinfelden - Basel the fairway is maintained at a depth of 2.95 m at GlW, so a reading above GlW means more water under the keel than that guaranteed minimum.
